MCAS 29

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) 29 Palms, officially known as Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Twentynine Palms, is a major United States Marine Corps base in southern California. Established in 1952, it grew from a World War II glider and bomber training site to become the largest USMC base, specializing in live-fire combined arms training. Over the decades, MCAS 29 Palms has supported Marine aviation units and provided essential training for combat operations, including deployments to the Middle East and other global hotspots. Today, it remains a cornerstone of Marine Corps readiness, supporting both ground and air elements for large-scale exercises and operational deployments.
